Yo72, power creep is not just old content becoming obsolete (which, to be fair, most of the old content was obsolete the day it came out because most content that's not killing a big boss is awful reward-wise), in this case it's more about "let's make your old stuff worthless." They make new classes more powerful to get people to play the new classes and spend money on them. They make new types of potential and new cubes constantly. There's a reason why they've released 20 new classes over the past four years, and about 5 new systems to making your equipment absurdly more powerful -- people will spend boatloads on it. But they're running out of room. When their old players, the ones who will spend absurd dollars on potential, decide it's finally time to call it quits, their customer base will shrink.
